THE MILITARY
Col W. G. Moore announced that at q meeting
OF the officers of the military companies OF the
District, held at the W. L. 1. Corps Armory that
evening, it had been decided that each company
should tender its services to the committee. The
militia will, therefore, notbe ordered out but will
take voluntary part in INSTRUMENTATION.
Col. Moore, speaking OF keeping the avenue clear,
said 1t was cruel and unreasonable to attempt to
eonfine the whole population Of Washington on
such an occasion to the sidewalks OF the avenue.
What he proposed to do was TO attempt to keep
the asphalt on the south side clear, and give up
the space on the north entirely to the people.
Col Berret announced the appointment OF Gen.
Peter f. Bacon as grand marshal OF the procession
and named Messrs. VIM. F. Mattingly, Crosby 8.
NoyeS and NJ. Nj. Parker as reception committee
TO meet ex-Gov. Shepherd at his country house,
escort him to the city and to the grand stand
Mr.. Lancaster thought 1t hitting that Mr.. Shep-
herd should be escorted through the city to the
reviewing stand by the procession so that the peO
pie could see him, but the prevailing view was
that Mr.. shepherd should be conducted to the re-
NfCWluS Stduu duu tutIt avail tue pTOCeSSlOu.
Mr.. WIN. Dickson reported that arrangements for
the pyrotechn1c display, at the Botanical Gardens,
at the Center Market and at the Treasury, were
nearly completed.
THE CIVIC PROCESSION.
meeting was held Saturday evening also by
the committee on civic procession The subcom-
mittee on wheelman reported that, having can
vassed the cycle clubs and the unattached cyclists
they could promise that 500 wheelmen would take
part In the parade. A lantern, wire standard
and candle are 10 be supplied to each at an eSti-
mated cost OF s cents. The chief marshal OF the
bicycle parade George $. Atwater, is to appoint
the captains OF the various organized clubs as
aides, and TO assign the clubs to rank in the pro-
ceSsion according to seniority. Prot Harry King
reported that the chief OF the military division
had agreed to allow the wheelmen to precede the
main body OF the procession The report of the
subcommittee was adopted.
The defamation OF the Federation OF Labor to
take part in the parade, due, as Chairman
Moore said, to misrepresentation which had been
cleared up, was briefly discussed, and regret ex-
pressed that the misunderstanding had occurred.
Chairman Moore said that he had been assured
by Mr.. oyster that while there was not time SUI
of organized bodies OF workingmen, in the pro.
ceSSion there was nothing to hinder individual
workingmen from taking part. He expected a
large representation of skilled workingmen under
these conditions.

Telegraph Office, By letter, proposed to send his
messenger corps, mounted on ponies, TO partici-
pate In the parade, and the offer was accepted.
